This Week: It’s another big week in the Magical Studio in the Sky. Hollywood has clobbered Kristin and Kevin with a massive slate of four new movies this week, complete with a challenging screening schedule. Along with talking about We’re the Millers, Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, Planes and Elysium, Kevin and Kristin face a deluge of news stories. Topics include asshole venture capitalists who want to allow tweeting and texting during movies, asshole movie stars who blame critics for their failures and asshole movie producers who want to butcher foreign films for the non-existent Midwest foreign films market. Oh, and DVDs.

This Week: Kevin and Kristin check out the big releases for the 4th of July weekend (including Despicable Me 2 and The Lone Ranger), and they also give nods to smaller movies for the week (including Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain and Best Friends Forever). They also talk about how feminism relates to The Heat, as well as some news about Pixar sequels. There’s also some talk about box office winners, losers and predictions (which includes movie totals in the trillions of dollars… trillions, I tell you!). Finally, there’s some DVD and Blu-ray release. And when we say “some,” we really mean just a few.

Art is subjective, as is the appreciation for it and the accolades thrust upon it. This is no more evident that during award season each year, in which every film critic, entertainment journalism outfit and average moviegoer throws in their two cents as to what were the best and worst of the previous year.
The Academy Awards are famous for the nomination snubs (such as this year’s snubbing of Ben Affleck and Kathyrn Bigelow for Best Director), but less remembered are the performances that should have won but didn’t. Reasons for this range from the age of the average Academy voter to the sheer politics of the industry.
From the more-than eight decades of the Oscars, here is a look at some people who should have won Best Actor but did not.
